Inactivated vaccines are commonly produced by incubating pathogens with chemicals such as formaldehyde or β-propiolactone. This is a time-consuming process, the inactivation efficiency displays high variability and extensive downstream procedures often required. Moreover, application of alters antigenic components viruses bacteria, resulting in reduced antibody specificity therefore stimulation less effective immune response. An alternative method for ionizing radiation. It acts very fast...
This study focuses on the use of superhydrophilic titanium dioxide (TiO2) coatings applied to surfaces water-bearing systems prevent surface colonization and biofilm formation. Biofilms in are a problem many industrial areas associated with risks hygiene health, material damage, high costs for cleaning maintenance. We investigated suitability TiO2 activated by UVA irradiation achieve surface. The well-adherent were deposited flat curved substrates (stainless steel, Al2O3) pulsed magnetron...
Low-energy electron irradiation is an emerging alternative technology for attenuated or complete pathogen inactivation with respect to medical, biotechnological, and pharmaceutical applications. Pathogen by ionizing radiation depends mainly on the absorbed dose. In low-energy processes, determination of dose challenging due limited, material-dependent penetration depth accelerated electrons into matter. general, there are established dosimetry systems evaluate under dry conditions. However,...
Abstract The use of coatings based on diamond like carbon (DLC) for medical applications was established during the last years. Main advantages these are its high hardness, good wear and friction behavior biocompatibility. Using low-energy electron-beam treatment, we addressed surface modification DLC coatings. aim to generate new biofunctional characteristics that long-term stable. Electron-beam resulted in significantly increased hydrophilicity, giving rise conclusion, biological reaction...
Critical infection outbreaks in hospitals due to the spread of pathogens from water-bearing systems such as siphons have been reported repeatedly. There is a correlation with contamination level fluid and presence biofilms. To be able counteract germs, degree these must minimized formation biofilms prevented.In this study, benefits titanium dioxide coating terms preventing adsorption germs surfaces subsequent biofilm were investigated using example siphon. The less studied known effect...
